What the hell keeps biting me?!

So I am constantly getting little bites on my skin, I guess some kind of bug but no one else in my house gets them on a daily basis like I do the bites are small raised center with sometimes a larger red ring around it. They are usually a bit itchy.

I've looked up various 'whats that bite' type websites with photos and can't find anything quite right. It also doesn't seem to matter where I am, I get them at work or home or even when I stay away somewhere!

Might be an allergic reaction rather than bites. Can you post a photo?

A red ring makes me think of Lyme..

Do you walk outdoors, do gardening, etc?

VisitingThem · 17/11/2022 08:13

I walk to work but these areas are covered. Might walk in the park on weekends but again im covered. I dont garden really.

Some people react, others don't. We had cat fleas in the house and I was the only one who came up in bites. The others will have been bitten too. You can't really tell bed bug bites from flea bites from mozzie bites reliably, they are all caused by your body's reaction. Thorough the having them when you stay away is a bit weird. Are you away just for one night or for several?

Is there a pattern of where they are on your body?

I do get badly bitten abroad too. :(

I'm currently at work and I've got 3 bites on my chest just below the scoop neck of my top. I wash every day and clean clothes every day too :(
